Concrete CMS Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in the Advanced File Search Filter

Concrete CMS versions 9 below 9.2.8 and versions below 8.5.16 are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in the Advanced File Search Filter. Prior to the fix, a rogue administrator could add malicious code in the file manager because of insufficient validation of administrator provided data. All administrators have access to the File Manager and hence could create a search filter with the malicious code attached. The Concrete CMS security team …

Concrete CMS Stored Cross-site Scripting vulnerability

Concrete CMS version 9 before 9.2.7 is vulnerable to Stored XSS via the Name field of a Group type since there is insufficient validation of administrator provided data for that field. A rogue administrator could inject malicious code into the Name field which might be executed when users visit the affected page. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v3.1 score of 2.2 with a vector of …

Improper Input Validation

Concrete CMS version 9 before 9.2.5 is vulnerable to stored XSS via the Role Name field since there is insufficient validation of administrator provided data for that field. A rogue administrator could inject malicious code into the Role Name field which might be executed when users visit the affected page. The Concrete CMS Security team scored this 2 with CVSS v3 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator . Concrete versions below 9 do …

Improper Input Validation

Concrete CMS version 9 before 9.2.5 is vulnerable to stored XSS in file tags and description attributes since administrator entered file attributes are not sufficiently sanitized in the Edit Attributes page. A rogue administrator could put malicious code into the file tags or description attributes and, when another administrator opens the same file for editing, the malicious code could execute. The Concrete CMS Security team scored this 2.4 with CVSS …

Improper Input Validation

Concrete CMS in version 9 before 9.2.5 is vulnerable to reflected XSS via the Image URL Import Feature due to insufficient validation of administrator provided data. A rogue administrator could inject malicious code when importing images, leading to the execution of the malicious code on the website user’s browser. The Concrete CMS Security team scored this 2 with CVSS v3 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N. This does not affect Concrete versions prior to …

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Concrete CMS 9 before 9.2.3 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) via /ccm/system/dialogs/logs/delete_all/submit. An attacker can force an admin user to delete server report logs on a web application to which they are currently authenticated.

Concrete CMS allows unauthorized access because directories can be created with insecure permissions

Concrete CMS before 8.5.13 and 9.x before 9.2.2 allows unauthorized access because directories can be created with insecure permissions. File creation functions (such as the Mkdir() function) gives universal access (0777) to created folders by default. Excessive permissions can be granted when creating a directory with permissions greater than 0755 or when the permissions argument is not specified.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Concrete CMS (formerly concrete5) below 8.5.10 and between 9.0.0 and 9.1.2 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in dashboard/system/express/entities/associations because Concrete CMS allows association with an entity name that doesn’t exist or, if it does exist, contains XSS since it was not properly sanitized. Remediate by updating to Concrete CMS 9.1.3+ or 8.5.10+.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Concrete CMS (formerly concrete5) below 8.5.10 and between 9.0.0 and 9.1.2 is vulnerable to XSS in the text input field since the result dashboard page output is not sanitized. The Concrete CMS security team has ranked this 4.2 with CVSS v3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N Thanks @akbar_jafarli for reporting. Remediate by updating to Concrete CMS 8.5.10 and Concrete CMS 9.1.3.

Session Fixation

Concrete CMS (formerly concrete5) below 8.5.10 and between 9.0.0 and 9.1.2 does not issue a new session ID upon successful OAuth authentication. Remediate by updating to Concrete CMS 9.1.3+ or 8.5.10+.

Improper Authentication

Concrete CMS (formerly concrete5) below 8.5.10 and between 9.0.0 and 9.1.2 does not use strict comparison for the legacy_salt so that limited authentication bypass could occur if using this functionality. Remediate by updating to Concrete CMS 9.1.3+ or 8.5.10+.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

concrete5 8.1.0 places incorrect trust in the HTTP Host header during caching, if the administrator does not define a "canonical" URL on installation of concrete5 using the "Advanced Options" settings. Remote attackers can make a GET request with any domain name in the Host header; this is stored and allows for arbitrary domains to be set for certain links displayed to subsequent visitors, potentially an XSS vector.
